Good to know about the time in Belgium

Belgium is on the same time as France all year round: UTC+1 in winter and UTC+2 in summer, changing on the European Union’s clock-change dates. Time in Brussels

Like France, the country was on Greenwich Mean Time before the Second World War. The occupying forces imposed German time in 1940, and Belgium kept it afterwards: in Brussels, the sun is at its highest around 12:43 in winter and 13:43 in summer (mean solar noon).
